8KATTLE. Wash.. July 25. After
throwing lipr 7-year-old daughter from
thp breakwater at tho foot of Walker
St wet into Iake Washington last
evening, Mrs. Trepsa Markley, wife of
Norman E. Markley, an attorney of
lti:i4 Terry avenue, formerly of Eu
jrone, Or., committed suicide by leaping:
Into the lake herself. The little srirl
crawled out of the water and after
more than an hour of climbing: up the
fUeep hill, reached the home of Arthur
1. Mot tinker, 2113 Thirty-second ave
nue south, where she told her story.
Half an hour later a party of search
ers, headed by Mr. Mottinger, found
the woman's body in the lake a short
di seance from where she hud leaped
, from the breakwater.
Child Tells Clear Story.
After being dressed in dry clothing,
the little girl was taken to police
headquarters. She arrived there but a
few minutes before her father, who
during the afternoon and evening had
made a search for her and her mother.
Not realizing that she had been robbed
of Jit r mother, but- still conscious ,of
the fact that something terrible had
happened, the child was not in the
' least bewildered. She told a clear
story of the affair to Police Captain
W. !'. Lauhscher and tbhe'r father.
Tno attempt of the mother, who is
believed by her husband, to have been
insane, .was the second she had made
that day to end the lives of both her
self and daughter. In the morning,
after her husband left the house, she
had turned on the gas, but the sensi
tive nostrils of the child had detect
ed the odor of escaping gas and
she turned it off before any damage
was done. ,
Scrambles Up Steep Bank.
"Mamma and I walked a great many
miles today," said the little girl. "After
papa went away in the morning I smelled
gas; Papa had cooked his own break
fast and had gone down town. I got
.up and found the gas turned on but it
was not burning. After mamma and I
got up and dressed she took me out for
a walk. We walked a long while and
then wo got on the Mount Baker Park
carline. We walked along the lake and
around there for about an hour until
it was almost dark.
"Then mum ma threw me into the lake
and then she jumped into the water,
too. I touched bottom and found that
it was not over my head, I found a
place where I could climb out and I
did. I cried and called for mamma,
hut she didn't answer end I guess she
must be d rownpil.
"The hill was steep down to the lake
and it was hard work to clinjb. I saw
a light and crawled toward it. The peo
ple there were kind to me and gave me
dry clothes and then found mamma."
Hut K eco n 1 1 y 1-e f t Eugene.
Markley was half-crazed with grief
when he rushed into police headquarters
tonight.
"We have only been here a few weeks,"
said Markley. Mrs. Markley was not
very well In Eugene, where we lived. She
was hysterical at times and a little
flighty. The doctor believed she would
giU over it and I thought a change of air
would perhaps do her good. I lived at
Eugene for 15 years. We were married
nine years ago and Melba, is our only
ehllil.
"Mrs. Markley was formerly Miss Tres
sa Drew. ar daughter of Mrs. M. J. Drew,
of Eugene.' I practiced law in Eugene
and had thought of starting practice
here, although 1 had made no definite ar
rangements.' ST. JOHN HOLD-UP FAILS

BIG CROWDS GATHER AT EACH
STOPPING P&ACE.
Democratic Nominee Shakes Hands
With AH in Reach- Due in Chi-
cago This Morning.
CRESTON, la.,-July 25. The - progress
of William J. Bryan from Lincoln to
Chicago last night was marked by a
number of demonstrations in his honor.
Omaha, Pacific Junction, Glenwood, Mal
vern, , Hastings, Red Oak, . Villisca and
Creston, Ja.t turned out large crowds who
cheered for"Our Next President. '
Mr. Bryan, so far as he could do so
during the limited time of the stops,
shook hands with all in reach. At Red
Oak a man in the crowd shouted, "Hur
rah for Bill."
Mr. Bryan set the crowd laughing
when he responded that "hurrahing Bill
is very non-partisan this year." He made
a few remarks in, which fce said that un
til he was officially notified of his nom
ination he could not make any political
speeches, but that after August 1 he
would "commence to talk."
At Corning apparently the whole popu
lation was out. Mr. Bryan's entry into
the city was a triumphant one. Immense
bonfires were built along the track, a
brass band discoursed several popular
airs and the crowd cheered lustily. Just
as the Democratic nominee began to
speak the train pulled out, much to the
disappointment of the gathering.
The train is due at Chicago at & o'clock
in the morning.
JAPAN CANNOT COMPETE
American Flour Will Have Market
for Many Years.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU". Wash-
ington, July 24. It will evidently be
many years before American flour is
shut out of the Japanese market; in
deed there Is serious doubt whether the
door will ever be entirely closed. . A
recent Japanese newspaper, discussing
the flour situation, had th following to
say :
"Among the various new undertakings
started subsequent to the late war was
that of flour milling. Some of the flour
mills promoted have ceased to exist.
having been swept away by the financial
crash that followed. Many have, now
ever, survived the trial, and these are
now in working order. Prior to the war
the production of flour in Japan was
very limited, and the annual Importa
tlon of 4.000.000 to 5.000,000 bags was found
necessary.
"It Is computed that the anneal pro
duction of eight companies does . not
amount to less than 6.000,000 bags. De
ducting from the latter 4,000,000 bags,
which is the average annual quantity
fmported, the surplus will be In the
neighborhood of 2.000,000 bags. Not only
is It estimated that this will effectively
check the importation of flour, but it is
thought probable .that the . surplus can
be used in Japan, and China by extending
the market, always supposing, of course,
that flour can be cheaply produced. It
is. however, doubtful whether the Jap
anese flour-milling companies will be
able to reap satisfactory profits in com
petition -with American flour.
"The fact is that Japan is not yet in
a position to produce wheat -in sufficient
quantity to satisfy the demand. The
total yield of wheat in the country is
estimated at 3.500.000 koku (koku. 611S
bushels), of which half the quantity is
absorbed in the manufacture of soy and
miso. Consequently, of the 2,500.000 koku
of wheat which is required for flour
milling purposes, about half the quan
tity has to bp- imported.
"Of course. Japan can afford to In
crease the yield of wheat If a good price
is assured, but this can scarcely be prac
ticable for some . years to come.'
Strap-Hanging Evil Banished.
Youth's Companion.
The discontinuance of the old Fulton
street Hne of horsecars in New Yon?
City was chronicled tar a newspaper cor
respondent with an amusing: comment.
"In some ways," he said, "this line was
i the best in the city. For one thintr. It
was entirely destitute of the strap-hanging
evil. In the first place, nobooy
would trust the straps, and in the sec

Matrimony in the Wild. -

Interesting' experiences during" his so
journs in the wilderness. Once an Indian

BY FIRE
Twenty-five People Endan
gered by Blaze.
GAT KNOCKS OVER LAMP
Bites May Andrews Is Dragged From
Flames Jnst in Time in Res
" idencc Fire on
Main Street.
A net cat and a kerosene lamp caused
a fire at 12:30 yesterday morning' that
seriously endangered the lives of 25 peo
ple, totally destroyed one house and seri
ously damaged three others and caused
isses estimated at J-iU.
The . lire originated in the one-story
frame cottage of Miss May Andrews, 325 ;
Main street. Miss Andrews lives, alone
and was sitting up reading by a lamp
resting on a small table. Her pet cat
jumped on the table,, knocking the lamp
to the floor, spilling oil and starting a
blaze that enveloped the entire structure
in a few moments:
Miss Andrews ran screaming to the.
street and aroused Mrs. Grace Leona,
who lives next door, 327 Main street, and
Mrs. H. Witte, a roomer. They tried to
rescue some of Miss Andrews effects,
but the building - was, soon a mass of
flames', which spread to the house of
Mrs. Leona, on the west. - and to the
residence at 231 Sixth street, corner of
Main, and to SSa Sixth street. The last
two. are rooming-houses and - were filled
with tenants.
Mies Andrews, in spite of the danger,
rushed back into her house in a frantic
effort to rescue some, of her belongings
and a pet bird and was overcome by
the smoke and heat. She was dragged
from the building in the nick of time
by Harry W. Smith, of 246 Seventh
street, who was one of the . first to
reach the scene. Miss Andrews house
and all its contents were totally de
stroyed. Next door, .Mrs. Leona and
Mrs. Witte had "many valuable paint
ings and art works. They worked
hard, assisted by Mr. Smith and others,
and did not c.eslst until they were or
dered not to enter the house again.
Mrs. Leona burned one of her hands
trying to smother the fire in her rooms
with a blanket. Thie was the only in
jury reported.
The rooming-house on the corner
was conducted by "Wand o Katu. a Jap
anese. In the basement were Mrs.
Thomas Cady and her three children,
while upstairs Mies Elanor "Wing was
alone, other roomers being out. These
tenants were aroused while the flames
were eating savagely at the west side'
of the- building. They were forced
into the street in scanty attire and'
had only time to get a few of their
possessions out when the order came
from the firemen that tney could not
again enter the building.
Next door to this is a rooming-house
conducted by Mrs. H. ' Goerke. Here
there were 20 people. The roof of this
house caught fire, the flames working
their way under the eaves , and in a
few minutes were in the second - floor.
The smoke overcame several women in
this house, but they were gotten safely
to the street in time to avoid serious
accident.
The fire department did splendid
work. Of the many night fires re
cently wherein lives were endangered
the fire fighters did quicker and better
work at last night's fire than in
months. There was no delay in -getting
water on the blaze.
The buildings damaged are all the
property of J. C. Luckel, of the Luckel,
King & Cake Soap Company. They
are said to be fully covered by insur
ance. Besides the destruction of the
house at 325 Main street, the rear and
side of 237 Main street were burned,
the rear of 235 Sixth street, and the
rear, roof and second floor of 231 Sixth
street were also burned. In all of these
three the contents -were badly dam
aged by water.
A large crowd gathered in spite of
the lateness of the hour and 20 police
men 'were dispatched to the scene by
Captain Bailey to maintain order. The
fire lasted only 20 minutes.

of the road, and were teaching a
young woman to ride on a wheeL The
ooachman -4nsh?ted on - passing. and.
when the men tried-to hold the horse.
b. used his whip to drive them away.
They then insulted Mrae: Fournier, and
her husband, struck one of them with
his cane, which caused all the work
men to-join in the dispute.
The coachman drove on the Ville
neuve Saint -Georges at a gallop.-but
was followed by the three cyclists,
who finally overtook the carriage and
wanted to take the names of the driver
and owner. The affair threw, the
whole place in a state of excitement;
the townspeople, .thinking it was ' a
hold-up of the strikers, took the part
of MV Fournier, -while . the workmen
from the road sided with the cyclists.
A small riot ensued, in "the course -of
which the workmen shouted that they
would drown the coachman or hang
him. In - fact, the man - no longer
found his life safe, and had to take
refuge in a house, escaping by aback
yard and over garden walls.
Mme. Fournier meanwhile -fainted;
and to quell the riot two detachments
of gendarmes had to be sent for. Or
der was finally restored when the po
lice had arrested half a dozen men and
the cyclists, who accused the coach
man of being the original cause of
the row. while M. Fournier stated that
the cyclists were responsible for the
disorder. To "get at ' the truth, the
police decided to prosecute nearly
everybody for disturbing the peace.

FRENCH PRIESTS PROVE THEIR
- SKILL -AS" CRAFTSMEN.
Exhibit Varied , Products 'of Their
Industry at Saumur Sliow
. ing Most Creditable.
PARIS, July 23. (Special.) Three hun
dred French priests, who lost their sti
pends when the Parliament severed the
church from the state, have adopted
manual labor . as a livelihood. They
founded,- tinder the direction of the Abbe
Ballu. the. Association of Working Priests,
and the remarkable fruits of their labor
are now being exhibited in the cnateau
de Candes, near Saumur.
The priests have engaged in the -fol
lowing occupations: -Wheat farming,
strawberry growing, wine making, rabbit
and poultry breeding, beekeeping, . pastry
making, tapestry weaving, knitting, book
binding, printing, photography,,; picture
framing,, painting, sculpture. " .
Among the exhibits are a new kind of
fowl incubator, an elixir, stockings, pate
de foie gras, jam, wine and brandy. 'The
exhibition is a strange jumble, but is a
striking testimony to the industry . and
ingenuity of the priesthood.
It is Interesting to recall that when the
revolution of . 1789 obliged the priests
to turn their wits to account Monslgnor
de Vintimulle gave lessons in dancing and
deportment; Monslgnor de Clairmont
Tonnerre. who was connected with ' the
royal houses of . Austria . and of France,
gave lessons In elocution; the archbishop
of Paris opened business as commission
agent at the central vegetable market;
Consignor de Noyen painted miniatures;
the Abbe de Maussac established himself
as a lodging-house keeper.
The exhibition at the Chateau de
Candes is proof that the clergy have quite
as varied capabilities in the field of
manual labor.
FISHHAWK AND EEL -FIGHT
Lord of the Air Nearly Drowned in
a Duel.
New York Times.
George Stadelberger. of . Highland
Beach. N. J., tells the following story 'of
a duel between a flshhawk and an eel
which he witnessed:
' "Our cottage is situated on the nar
row strip of land between the ocean
and and the Shrewsbury River, and just
across the river are the Highlands of
the Navesink. Almost constantly at
this season of the year fishhawks may
be . seen flying low over the surf of the
ocean, 'cruising' for finny prey, and the
sharp-eyed, rapacious fisherman seldom
goes to his aerie in the big dead-trees
on the top of the Highlands with his
talons empty. I have got into the habit
of watching the movements of flsh
hawks, as their methods of angling are
most interesting.
"One day last week I saw a flshhawk
make a quick dive down Into the eel
grass that grows in the shallow water
at the edge of the Shrewsbury River
Just back of my cottage. . The bird ap
peared to be a rather young one at
least it was under the regular size. Im
mediately it emerged bearing a large
eel, and I noticed the hawk had diffi
culty In getting started in its flight I
was " sitting on the veranda, and
through my marine glasses I watched
the struggle.
"The hawk was making a desperate
effort to get his claws into the vital
part of his prey and quiet its wriggling
and all the while I could see that Mr.
Eel had decided upon a plan of offen
sive action also. Little by little the eel
6qulrmed the greater portion of his
length around the fishhawk's tail, and
then encompassed It entirely. The
struggle in mid-air must have lasted
thirty seconds. The bird's flight be
came more and more erratic, for the
reason that the eel had befouled its
rudder, and It couldn't steer. The pe
culiar combat attracted the-attention of
several of my neighbors. It could be
seen that . the hawk was beaten and
was now endeavoring to free Itself
from the grip of the eel. Finally they
both dropped back into the river, where
the great amount of splashing denoted
that the struggle was continuing.
"Presently the hawk released Itself,
and Its manner of flight gave evidence
that It had been quite badly hurt. To
all who saw the struggle in the water
It seemed that the eel was bent on
wreaking vengeance, but whether in
tentional or not he certainly came near
drowning his antagonist of the air and
was the brilliant victor of the singular
encounter."
Deadly Shoe Polish Arrives.
Kansas City Journal.
Now it is shoe polish that is going to
wipe out a large part of the population
unless people are careful. The health
authorities of Toledo, O.. have recently
discovered this new danger to life and
have placed a ban on two brands of shoe
blacking. -The sudden death of a young
man. who had been apparently in. the
best ef health, was the cause of the in
vestigation which resulted in the discov
ery. It was found that he had stained
his canvas shoes with a certain kind of
polish, and after analysis of the prepar
ation -which-he had used It -was deter
mined that the nltrobenzole in it had
killed him. The city chemist of Toledo, O..
explains that "when nltrobenzole Is ab
sorbed by the flesh through cracks in
shoes or from being placed on cloth tops
or canvas shoes, it destroyes all the oxy
gen in the blood. . and death claims the
victim before he is aware anything is
the matter.'

CLUB OUTLINES ITS PLANS
Widening of Union Avenue From
Hancock to Morris Is Also Con
sidered at Meeting of Im
provement Association..
Two questions were considered at
the meeting of the North East Side
Improvement Association Friday night
the location of parks in the North East
Side and the widening of Union avenue
to 80 feet, between Hancock and Mor
ris streets. L. T. Adams, chairman of
the special park committee, reported
that he -had called on the Park Board
with reference to locating parks on
the East Side, and had been informed
that at present no money was available
fo the purchase of land for. parks. It
was -decided to ascertain the .general
plans of the Park Board with refer
ence to new parks.
R. E. Menefee declared that the people
ought to see that the Albina district is
not forgotten and that the whole of the
$1,000,000 voted Is not expended on fhe
Heights on the West Side. After discus
sion the following general park commit
tee was appointed: L. T. Adams, E. Ver
steeg, L. T. Peery. J. H. Kelly, E. L.
Shaffer, J. P. Menefee, A. B. Manley and
W. C. North. This committee will ascer
tain, what tracts have been selected, if
any, and what the plana prepared by the
expert are. ,
It was the sentiment of the meeting
that Union avenue ought to be widened
to 80 feet at least, between Morris and
Hancock streets, but it was thought the
propertyowners ought to initiate the
movement. Councilman Menefee seid that
he had held up the improvement of Union
avenue bet wen Holladay avenue and
Highland until It should be - settled
whether the 'Street is to be widened. If
he started proceedings to widen the
street, he wanted at least to- know that
the property-owners were back of th
movement. It was therefore decided to
ascertain -what the, attitude of .the prop
erty-owners is toward" the widening of
Union avenue. Many have said they
jvould sign a petition if they had an
esiimaie or ine cost.
r. W. Ward. E. V. Nolens. William
Lind, W. A. Cadwell and J. H. Monks,
all property owners on Union avenue,
were appointed to confer with the other
property owners and ascertain the gen
eral sentiment. If srty considerable

When bad blood is caused from an infection of the circulation by the
virus of Contagious Blood Poison, it usually shows in the form of ulcerated
mouth-and throat, copper-colored splotches on the body, swollen glands in
the groin, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc. .These general symptoms,
affecting all parts of the body, show how deeply poisoned the blood
becomes, and emphasizes the dangerous character of the trouble. If allowed
to remain in the system the disease will finally creck the health and break
down the strongest constitution. Tso medicine can cure Contagious Blood
Poison which does not rid the circulation of every particle of the virus.
S. S. S. is the one real and certain- cure; it goes down to the very bottom of
the trouble, and by removing every trace of the poison, and adding rich,
healthful qualities to the blood, forever cures this powerful disorder. S. S. S.
is the most reliable of all blood purifiers, and its concentrated ingredients of
healthful vegetable extracts and juices especially adapt it to curing this
insidious trouble. Write for our home treatment book, which is a valuable

VICTIM -OF PERSECUTION
Ernest von Darguet, Painter With
Strange Story, Dead.
PARIS, July 25 (Special.) The famous
painter, Ernest von Darguet, who re
cently died here, will be remembered as
the subject of a most remarkable prose
cution. He was proceeded against for
decapitating the body of his father. The
evidence showed that he did this in pur
suance of his fathers last wish that his
head might be severed from his body and
deposited in a private mortuary where
the skulls of other members of his family
are separately preserved.
M. Darguet was accordingly acquitted,
but the worry of the prosecution accel
erated the heart trouble to which be was
subject, and he died at the age of 58.
Attacks Kate From Valley.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 23. A suit
was - filed yesterday in the United States
Circuit Court on behalf of the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company and the
Oregon & California Railroad Company
against the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, alleging that the Constitution
of the United -States was violated in a
ruling reducing what the Commission
held to be an excessive rate on ship
ments of green fir lumber and lath
from Oregon points to San Francisco
and bay points. Judge Morrow issued
an order to show cause, returnable
August 3.
In April, H07, the Southern Pacific
Company put into effect a tariff known
as "local 47." The rate tf $5 per ton
was fixed on rough, green fir lumber
from the 'Willamette Valley to San
Francisco and vicinity. In November,
1907, the Western Oregon Manufac
turers'. Association filed .a complaint
with the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion against the railroad company to
the effect that the rate on lumber was
excessive. On June 1, 1908, the Com
mission delivered an opinion restrain
ing the railroad company from enforc
ing the rate, and announcing that for
the next two years there should be
rates of $.1.40 and $3. 5 per ton, accord
ing to the points in Oregon Xrom which
shipments are made.
The railroad companies allege that
the Hepburn law and other -Interstate
laws are unconstitutional in that they
confer powers of legislative, executive
and judicial; thst the findings of the
Commission may be brought into court
with the same effect as the findings of a
master in chancery.
It is held that the original rate of
13.10 per ton was fixed to foster the
lumber Industry of the Willamette
Valley and to compete with water ship
ments. Now there are 2S0 mills es
tablished and no hardship is entailed
by water shipments
